SOTW Central:

Ahh, how convenient does it feel to have three threads combined into one? And an FAQ? Great Scott- how is this even possible? Enough with the questions. This is, surprisingly, SOTW Central- The grand center for SOTW, an ongoing weekly signature contest. In addition to the already existing threads of SOTW, an FAQ and Thread List have been added to the collection. With SOTW now reduced down to a mere 3 threads at a time, we are greater than ever. Bask in the glory.

“Where do I Post?”

The Entry/Discussion threads is the ‘primary’ thread for each SOTW. This is where you
submit your entries, discuss other entries, and just chat about that SOTW as a whole.
There is a list of specific rules you must follow in each one of these threads.
The Voting threads are purely for your votes. No discussion is allowed here, and the
rules listed above must be followed when voting. Entries that are posted later than the
designated date will not be listed.SOTW Central is used for just about everything SOTW. Anything related to the rules,
the hall of fame, future themes, the schedule, or just SOTW in general will be allowed. All
general questions or suggestions regarding SOTW go here also.

FAQ:

Q: It’s passed the day you said threads would be posted yet they’re not, what’s the deal?

A: Contrary to poppular belief, I do have a life outside Kongregate- which means that I may
sometimes be busy on a day (usually Sunday) when I’m supposed to post the next set of threads.
I will usually post an announcement if any delays are made, as well as the reason for the delay.

Q: I posted my entry in the entry thread, but it’s not in the voting thread – Why not?

A: Before asking this question, please verify that your signature fully followed the
guidelines provided for that SOTW. The most common mistake in not following the guidelines
is not making your signature the correct size, so check to make sure you did before posting
your entry. Another important thing to keep in mind is that I’m only human, and can make
mistakes. If you asked for CnC but later changed your sig or specified a different one, I may
have missed it. If that happens, just post in the voting thread telling me that I missed your
entry as well as a link to it. The third most common reason is that you never specified which
entry you wanted to submit. People often post entries to ask for CnC or to use it as an example
for a certain art style. I can’t stress this enough- specify that the sig you posted is you
entry when posting!

Q: A theme had the most votes, why wasn’t it chosen for this week’s theme?

A: There’s often times where I feel that the most poppular theme is too similar to previous ones,
or I have a theme that I think would be a better choice opposed to the poppular theme. In cases
like this, the theme will be different, either one of the other poppular themes, or a theme of my choice.

SOTW Theme Submissions

Rules to Submitting

1. Post a maximum of 5 ideas per post
Please do not exceed 5 suggestions per post. Do not double post (Or more) just to give more ideas. And finally, don’t post between every other post just to raise your post count. I will smite you for that.2. Post a general category
If you have 2 theme ideas in mind that are similar (like pikachu and charmander), make it easier and post “Pokemon”. The 2 reasons behind this are that: 1. It saves up some space on the theme idea list so that most general ideas are considered. 2. Posting categories that are too specific cut on how creative a sig maker can go with the sig. A more general category will give more freedom and ideas to participants. Also keep your general categories not TOO general- Such as saying “Things that Exist”.3. Add ideas that you like to your list
If an idea somebody posted is a point of interest to you, then add it to
your ideas list. For each time an idea is posted by a different user, it will
earn a point. The more points it has, the more likely it is to become the next theme. Also, if you see somebody post a good idea AFTER you post here, then simply repost with the idea that you like in it.4. NO multiple posts for the same idea
If you suggest an idea, please don’t repost later suggesting the same idea. Only one vote per person toward a specific idea. Anyone who breaks this rule will simply have the point not added.

Theme Idea List!

The way this list works is, the idea with the most points by the release of the next SOTW will be used as the theme. Ideas get points by being re-posted by members. Remember: Don’t post multiple times for an idea you like. Only post once. Ideas that don’t receive a point over 2 months will be bumped off the list.
